Footage of a walk through Exotenwald (forest) and at Wachenburg (castle), Weinheim, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Weinheim, a charming town located in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, is known for its beautiful natural scenery and impressive architecture. Among the town's most famous landmarks are the two castles, Windeck and Wachenburg, which have very different histories but offer breathtaking views of the Rhine Valley and the Palatinate Forest. The town's nickname is Zweiburgenstadt, which means "the town of two castles." One of the town's most visited attractions is the Exotenwald Weinheim, a forest arboretum located beside the Schlosspark. The arboretum spans about 60 hectares and is open daily to visitors free of charge. Established in 1871 by Christian Friedrich Gustav Freiherr von Berckheim, former Minister of State and Großhofmeister at the court in Karlsruhe, the arboretum is home to a vast collection of exotic trees and plants from around the world. The Exotenwald Weinheim is a favorite among locals and visitors alike, especially during the fall season when the forest transforms into a magical and enchanting place. The Wachenburg, on the other hand, is a castle built at the beginning of the 20th century and is not an "old" castle built for military purposes but a gathering place for corps students. It is located above the town and offers stunning views of Weinheim, Rhine river plain and the surrounding area. The castle is a popular spot for tourists and locals alike to enjoy a meal or a cup of coffee in a romantic setting. The Wachenburg also houses a decent restaurant and hosts various events throughout the year. Overall, Weinheim's Exotenwald and Wachenburg are two must-visit destinations for anyone visiting the town. The Exotenwald offers a unique opportunity to explore a vast collection of exotic trees and plants from around the world, while the Wachenburg offers breathtaking views of the surrounding area and a chance to enjoy a romantic meal or coffee in a beautiful setting. Whether you're a nature lover or a history buff, Weinheim has something to offer for everyone. #exotenwald #park #weinheim #forest #trees #nature #wachenburg #castle #exotictrees #hiking #germany #europe Music: 1 HOUR | "Echoes In The Canyon" | No Copyright - Flute Meditation, Relaxation, Ambient Music von Dandelion Meditation (https://www.youtube.com/@dandelionmeditation2337)

Dokumentation der Fahrt mit der Elektrodraisine (in voller Länge) von Wald-Michelbach nach Mörlenbach, Kreis Bergstrasse, Hessen, Deutschland (auf einem etwa 10 Kilometer langen Abschnitt der früheren Überwaldbahn Eisenbahnstrecke) in Echtzeit. English description below this video https://youtu.be/r_a9oC5tMXs Heutzutage fahren nur touristische Solardraisinen auf der Normalspurnebenbahnstrecke. Jede Draisine kann maximal acht Personen befördern. Die Höchstgeschwindigkeit beträgt 15 km/h. Die Fahrzeuge werden von einem elektrischen Motor angetrieben. Der Strom wird von Akkus geliefert (die vom Stromnetz über Nacht aufgeladen werden), ebenso von Sonnenzellen auf dem Draisinendach, durch Rekuperation auf Gefällestrecken, und durch pedalgetriebene Generatoren. Das Treten der Pedale sorgt für den Vortrieb über ein elektrisches Übertragungssystem. Schnelleres Treten bedeuted höhere Fahrgeschwindigkeit. Stoppen der Pedalbewegung bedeutet Anhalten des Fahrzeugs. Vier Sitze der Draisine haben Pedale. Es gibt eine zusätzliche Handbremse und einen Ausschalter für das ganze Antriebssystem der Draisine. Draisinen werden nacheinander von einem Ende der Strecke abgelassen mit einem Mindestabstand von 100 m. Wenn all Fahrzeuge am Ziel am Ender der Strecke angekommen sind, erfolgt die Rückfahrt auf die gleiche Weise. Es gibt zwei höhengleiche Bahnübergänge mit Signalanlagen, die per Handschalter aktiviert werden. Ausserdem gibt es noch mehrere Viehtriebübergänge und Feldwegübergänge. Die gesetzliche Grundlage für den Betrieb dieser Bahn bildet die 'Verordnung über den Bau und Betrieb der Straßenbahnen' , abgekürzt BOStrab. Auf der morgentlichen Hinfahrt von Mörlenbach nach Wald-Michelbach gab es ernsthafte Traktionsprobleme an zwei Stellen durch durchdrehende Antriebsräder. Wahrscheinlich waren die Schienen vom herbstlichen Morgentau feucht. Zusätzlich war die Draisine nur mit drei Personen besetzt, was einen guten Rad/Schiene Kontakt beeinträchtigt haben mag. Herbeitelefonierte Mitarbeiter der Überwaldbahn gGmbH haben durch händische Schiebehilfe Unterstützung geleistet.

Der Betrieb begann 1901. Die hügelige Landschaft erforderte den Bau von zwei Tunneln und von drei grösseren und zwei kleinen Viadukten. Die Strecke hatte Anschluss an die Eisenbahnstrecke Weinheim - Fürth im Bahnhof Mörlenbach. Es gab auf der gesamten Strecke Güter- und Personenverkehr bis 1. März 1984. An diesem Tage endete der Zugbetrieb auf dem Abschnitt Unter-Wald-Michelbach - Wahlen und das Gleis wurde im folgenden Jahr abgebaut und die Strecke wurde im Jahr 2000 in einen Radweg umgewandelt. Der Betrieb auf dem Abschnitt Mörlenbach - Wald-Michelbach wurde am 31 March 1994 eingestellt. Der Betrieb der Touristendraisine wurde am 18. August 2013 aufgenommen, nachdem viel Geld in die Ertüchtigung der Strecke gesteckt worden war.

Real time full length footage of a ride on the handcar from Mörlenbach to Wald-Michelbach, Bergstrasse District, Hesse, Germany (on an about 10 km section of the former Überwald railway line). Nowadays, only tourist solar handcars operate on the standard gauge track. Each handcar can carry a maximum of eight people. The maximum speed is 15 km/h. The vehicles are powered by an electric motor. Electricity is supplied by rechargeable batteries (recharged from the grid overnight), solar panels on the roof, recuperation at downhill sections, and by pedal-powered generators. The pedaling action of the driver creates propulsion via an electric drivetrain system. Faster pedaling means higher driving speed. Stopping to pedal stops the vehicle. Four seats are equipped with pedals. There is an additional handbrake and an off-switch for the whole system. Handcars leave from one end of the line one after the other with a minimum headway of 100 m. When all cars have reached the destination at the end of the line they can take the trip back in the same way. There are two level crossings with signals that have to be triggered manually. Several cattle crossings and farm road crossings are just indicated by signage. The legal regulation for operation of this railway is the 'Verordnung über den Bau und Betrieb der Straßenbahnen' ("Regulation on the Construction and Operation of Light Railways"), abbreviated as BOStrab. We faced serious skidding of the wheels at two locations. Probably the rails were still wet from autumnal morning dew that created traction problems. In addition, there were only three persons on board the vehicle preventing firm wheel/rail contact. Staff of the rail operator provided support by manually pushing the handcar.

It started operation in 1901. The hilly topography required construction of two tunnels and three larger and two small viaducts. It was connected to the railway line Weinheim - Fürth at Mörlenbach station. The complete line had freight and passenger traffic until March 1, 1984. At that date train operation ceased on the Unter-Wald-Michelbach - Wahlen section and the track was disassembled the following year and the alignment was converted into a bicycle path in the year 2000. The section Mörlenbach - Wald-Michelbach was closed on March 31, 1994. The tourist handcar operation commenced on August 18, 2013 after a hefty investment in track refurbishment.

On September 17 and 18, 2022 two major earthquakes occurred, followed by many aftershocks. Epicenter was at Taitung County in the east of Taiwan. Magnitudes were 6.5 and 6.9 respectively (Richter magnitude scale). Main affected areas were Taitung County, Hualien County (and Pingtung County). The epicenter of Sunday's quake was in Chishang Township at a depth of 7.0 kilometers and 42.7 km north of Taitung County Hall. The tremors could be well felt all over the island though. The observed damages highlight the challenges that seismic events provide to a country's infrastructure. Buildings, bridges, railways, roads, dams, power lines etc. need to be designed and constructed to withstand those particular dynamic loads of seismic events. Design standards are being adjusted and amended based on previous earthquake events (lessons learned). ► The toppled three-story building in Yuli Township, Hualien County did not collapse like a stack of pancakes but instead, provided cavities for trapped people to survive. ► The collapsed concrete bridges reveal a weak structural member, the piers, which crushed in the lower section. ► Observed roadway damage (buckling, cracking) is generally caused by ground failure, or faulting. Ground failure includes events such as differential settling and loss of soil strength. Roads depend on the strength of the soil below them for support. If the soil below them loses strength or is ripped apart, the roads will follow suit. Faulting occurs when surface faults coincide with the roadway surface, causing it to shift, and potentially buckle. ► The train derailment at Dongli Station, Hualien County, was apparently caused by a collapsed platform roof that interfered with the train. ► Falling objects inside buildings and adjacent to buildings pose dangers to people (search cover). ► In mountainous regions, earthquake triggered rock slides may pose special dangers to the people there (pedestrians as well as motorists). ► Temporary works on construction sites need to be designed for seismic loads as well where applicable. Thanks go to all those people who captured the events (please use landscape mode on your device in future) and to all the helpers and rescue personnel who help mitigating the aftermath of the earthquake. Detailed inspection for damages of rail and road networks will take some time. Images and video clips have been used under Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Act 1976 for reporting purposes.
